- Description
- Medical case, doctor's; with saws, knives, blades, cutters, needles, string, tourniquet, screw, packaging paper and wire (24 items in all).
- Object History
- Doctors on battlefields carried with them medical kits containing various instruments for amputation. These often included surgical scalpel, straight forceps for extracting bullets, a large amputation saw, curved scissors for cutting tissue, tourniquet to compress the arteries above the cut during amputations, a double-edged knife called the catlin and bone brush to dust off bone dust from the site. This combination Medical/Amputation Kit was originally owned by well known Vancouver physician and surgeon, Dr. Arthur Isaac Brown. In 1925, he began focusing most of his time and attention on Speaking Tours, pioneering the combination of Science and Religion that became known as Creationism. He authored numerous articles and several books on the subject. The donor's grandmother, Amanda Brown, was involved in setting up the Amputations Club in Vancouver (predecessor of the War Amps Association) and a well-known 1920s social worker.
